Since permamonika has appeared in my inbox, I'm gonna give my own two cents, ignoring the screenshots I've seen where prn was directly seen sexually harrassing a person of youth. I'm going to be focussing on a very specific aspects of this, hopefully this take isn't too hot...
Grooming, inherently, is a build up of trust, that you manipulate. If you groom someone correctly, they will consent to you. They will say yes, and during such they will behave in a way that seems heavily consenting.
Saying "but they consented" after being accused of grooming doesn't work, because ofcourse they did, thats what makes it a manipulation tactic.
I dont beleive all agegap relationships are grooming at all, I'm in a agegap relationship, my partners have been nothing but beacons of hope in my life, and I don't personally have a contact stance (their stupid) I do know not all minor and adult relationships are inherently grooming, as much as the media would like to say that.
However when you have multiple people of youth coming out, stating "I feel taking advantage of, my trust was twisted" over and over - to the point theres a pattern - that to me is a sign there's something going on.
If it was a fully consentual relationship, then there wouldn't be so many people of youth saying otherwise.
Thats something I see alot of people in this community not understand, there's going to be victims who seem consenting at the time, sometimes you say yes to people hurting you, this goes for any form of being hurt and is why you should repeatedly check "is there a power balance we should discuss?" "does this person seem mentally stable?" "Has this person went through anything traumatic recently?" "is there anything that could be influencing this person to say yes to me?"
I dont beleive that if you've hurt someone previously that this immediately means you are the devil either, you can unconsciously manipulate someone, difference with Monika is that Prn has proven to have a pattern with this.
I think if there's anything you should take out of this situation, it's that consent is alot more complicated than yes or no, and you should always be conscious of the various reasons someone might be saying yes to you. Alot of my own suffering wouldnt of happened if the people around me had considered my mental breakdowns, manic episodes, bpd highs and lows, recent trauma, ect before getting me to agree to things, or if people beleived me when I said I was manipulated into saying yes, uninformed or influenced yes's aren't consent, and even in some cases, what is consent varies from person to person, and you should ask them if there's times, they don't feel safe consenting.
There might even be times where you thought you were fully sure and it turned out that person was influenced or not in a place to say yes. Always always do "aftercare"* no matter the situation, where you check in with the person and see how their doing. Risk/harm prevention I think should go for all scenarios, and is as simple as asking if a person is okay and or still consents to x y z.
*This goes for nonsexual consentual acts too
Equally, maybe we should all take a moment of what grooming really looks like, and what consent while being groomed looks like and how manipulation can twist consent.
